    I think I figured out where that name comes from! Woody was the   
    cowboy hero in "Toy Story." I believe a Walt Disney animation   
    movie. BTW, the next Debian version is called 'Sarge.'

    Oh yes, there's a lot of stuff to get! Being a newbie to linux,   
    I'm kind of going slow. Gotta learn a lot of linux dialect before   
    I'm ready for downloading. Open Office comes up in discussions.   
    My glibc and X-windows version are probably not up to it. So if,   
    you get OO, you want get CUPS -- Common Unix Printing System. Some   
    people like to use Opera. Ooh, I found Mozilla in the Gnome menu.   
    I haven't used any browsers yet because I don't know how to setup   
    the network in linux. I'm plugged into a 6way LinkSys router with   
    RoadRunner cable modem.

    Yes, how true. The classic custom chips are gone. :-\ LinuxUAE   
    runs at a 68020- no JIT-in full ECS. UAE comes packed in drabby   
    WB3 with Scala wrappings. That's old phooey. I got busy getting   
    my OS3.5 and OS3.9 CDs to boot off the CDs. :) The CacheCDFS is   
    set for SCSI.device, but the A1 is IDE. So, I made the Emergency   
    -Disk with the system driver and changed the S-S and bam! We're   
    lookin' good again.=:D I don't know if I want to install OS3.9?   
    I kind of looking for OS4! BTW, OS4 will go on tour next month   
    and AmiWest 2003. But, it's a beta version for CSPPC. No clues   
    about the AmigaOne version. :-/

    I don't know yet...I had the A1-XE G4 for a month now, and user   
    progress in exceedingly slow without the AmigaOS. About the only   
    things I'v been doing is read a lot of 'HOWTO's and play with   
    the UAE. A lot of stuff is yet to be ironed out -- eventually. =:o
